Is it possible to install App Store apps without an internet connection?

My wife and I both use the same Apple ID for everything.  If she were at home, this would be a no brainer; but she is now stationed in Afghanistan.  She currently does not have access to the internet.
So...is it possible for me to download some games from the app store then copy them to a jump drive so that she can install them on her lap top over there?  Her new laptop was 'authorized' through our iTunes account before she left the states.
Thanks for your assistance.

The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico, Spanish is my native tongue. I do not speak English very well, however, I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
Simple drag & drop apps that are mostly what are available in the Mac App Store (MAS) should be fine to burn to CD/DVD or a USB thumb drive and install on another Mac. I would test the apps to make sure that it works for those that you wish to send to her.
I wouldn't put any weight to the BS about fine print. Apple's terms of use for the MAS are that you can install the apps on all of the Macs that you own or that are in your control. There is no restriction on the location of those Macs; home or office, USA or Afganistan!

  • Windows APP without real internet connection stops working in time

    Windows APP without real internet connection stops working in time
    Hello all,
    I am trying to get the following to work. We have an intranet page which users need to connect to, to operate some machines. This is done through an windows 8.1 Tablet with an assigned KIOSK mode app (Kios SP Browser).
    This works great as the assigned app is the only thing the user can run and we don't have to really harden the device. One drawback in using the assigned apps is that it needs to be an New App (as Microsoft call it)
    The app is installed on an reference machine which runs in workgroup mode (no domain connection is needed on the devices) and after the reference machine is installed it is imaged with the use of Acronis. After deployment the tablet has no connection to
    internet and the intranet page is wireless put available to the tablets. As a side note, the tablet operates with local accounts and the app is installed using an corporate hotmail account we created just for this purpose.
    I now deployed the image over 20 different tablet devices and this worked great until recently a few devices start to complain it needs to connect to the windows shop before the app can be started. As the devices don't have internet access this can't be
    done and the tablet is rendered useless for the user.
    How can i make the app available without internet connection ? and how can i be sure the app will continue to work over time without connection to the store ?

    Thanks for the reply.
    I can't unblock the internet connection as the wireless network doesn't have any internet connection what so ever. The main purpose is to be able to operate the machinery and nothing else, hence the kios app which is being used to show the intranet page
    which connects than to the devices.
    The problem is that after imaging the app works as expected but after a few days the app stops to work ...
    I found the following website over site loading an app without the needed appx files. It shows an way to capture the files during installation from the windows store.

    It is a bit strange to have it this difficult to install apps without the needed store and i think that Microsoft should make this easier. I hope this works better and after a few days i will give the feedback how this handles..
    If anyone knows of a better way .....

  • Can I open creative cloud app without an internet connection ?

    I Need to get work edits made to Photoshop and illustrator documents and they won't open as my internet connection is down all day today. Is there a workaround ?
    Regards,
    Anthony

    Hello Anthony,
    No. Your Creative Cloud desktop applications (such as Photoshop and Illustrator) are installed directly on your computer, so you won’t need an ongoing Internet connection to use them on a daily basis.
    An internet connection is required the first time you install and license your desktop apps, but you can use the apps in offline mode with a valid software license.
    The desktop apps will attempt to validate your software licenses every 30 days, but for annual members, you can use the apps for up to 99 days in offline mode.
    Month-to-month members can use the software for up to 30 days in offline mode.
    Do you have any error message?
    Thank you.
    Arnaud.

  • Why it is not possible to install apps on an SD card on a Win 8.1 tablet?

    Why it is not possible to install apps on an SD card on a Win 8.1 tablet? If it is possible to install apps on SD card in Windows phone 8.1, why is it not possible on Windows 8.1? What sort of design philosophy you follow that gives better features on
    a mobile version of the OS but not on the parent OS? Kindly explain if you can!

    Hello,
    I'd ask in the
    Windows 8.1 forum on Microsoft Community.
    As the Microsoft Community is on a different platform, we cannot move the question for you.

    How do I install apps without the  app store

    This is an issue not to be taken lightly. I just upgraded to Mavericks. My two favorite amateur radio apps will not launch because they did not come from the App Store. There must be a way to make them work. Come on, let's have it. Ohh, the apps: DVTool for DStar Radio operation, and echomac for amateur radio repeater connection from a Mac. These are essential amateur radio applications used in emergency radio communications ... ARES.

  • Is there a way to install "apps" without using the store? (No Internet, intentionally)

    We have an industrial control system that is
    purposely cut off from the Internet for security purposes.  We want to install the RDP app on tablets.  Is there  way to do this without an Internet connection?  Has MS even considered such a scenario?

    Hi,
    We need the internet connection to install Store app, this is designed by default.
    Since we need internet to logon with the Microsoft account and can't download the offline installer as desktop app from Windows Store.

  • I am not able to access the "Settings" on my iPad 3. I just get a gray screen for about 30 seconds and then the app shuts down. I am also unable to access the App store, iTunes, or any app requiring an internet connection. Any thoughts?

    I am not able to access the "Settings" on my iPad 3. I just get a gray screen for about 30 seconds and then the app shuts down. I am also unable to access the App store, iTunes, or any app requiring an internet connection. Any thoughts?

    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."

  • "Network service error" game apps that require internet connection working fine, internet signal strong. Safari working, but YouTube, Facebook, Twitter and App Store won't work?! Tried resetting network settings but problem persists?

    Safari working fine, as are game apps that require internet connection.
    I can not get AppStore, YouTube app, Facebook app or twitter app to load anything as 'network service error" comes up.
    I have the latest update 7.2 and have tried resetting network settings, anyone else have this problem?! How do I fix it?

    I did try that one. But for some reason it still does not help. The strange thing stays that I can acces Twitter and other Apps. But still nos Safari/App Store. Only when I am on Wi-Fi.

  • I'm a new iPad owner. When I've rented a movie, I can't work out how to play it back without a wifi connection. I get a message which says you cannot connect to the iTunes store without an Internet connection. This happens whether I've rented or purchased

    I'm a new iPad owner. When I've rented a movie, I can't work out how to play it back without a wifi connection. I get a message which says you cannot connect to the iTunes store without an Internet connection. This happens whether I've rented or purchased a film. We're going on a flight soon and would ideally like to watch one on the plane. Can someone please provide some step by step instructions. Thanks.

    Rented or purchased video are watched through the videos app after you have downloaded them, iTunes on iOS devices is for buying media only.

  • Is it possible to apple configurator without an internet connection

    It won't allow us to assign ipads without an internet connection. Where we work our internet is locked down for security and ipads dont have internet access capabilities and we are not talking about 1 or 2 ipads, we are talking about 100.

    Thaks for the reply, I agree it is a little dumb, they even state on the website thumb drive page that
    " If you don't have broadband access, you can visit any Apple Retail Store to get help with downloading. Or you can order theOS X Lion USB Thumb Drive from the Apple Online Store."
    But clearly this is just not true as the installer requires a connection before it will even load anything. Is it possible they got the software installation wrong on the thumbdrive?
    I have posted a bug report for what good it will do.
    It is also a presumption that everybody has 3.4GB of download data spare for whenever they need to download. My mobile limit is 6GB. If I am on the raod and have trouble, I cannot download even twice. It's ok at home or for anybody with large amounts of download data, but still time consuming. I love having my install discs handy at all times, and even burning a Lion DVD really messes up my nice collection of OS Install Discs! (lol on that bit)
    You need to make sure you are with a reliable IP server as well.
    Cheers

  • Is it possible to activate an ipad w/o an internet connection on a mac?

    Is it possible to activate an ipad without an internet connection on my mac?
    I have got a macbook pro with iTunes 10.1.2 (17) and an micro-sim card with a iPad 3G data plan, so I can use it directly with the iPad, but I have to activate the iPad at first.
    I have NOT any internet connection on the macbook pro (because I am actually traveling). So do not recommend to go to the next Apple Store etc.
    Thank you.

    You can register it when you get an Internet connection.

    You cannot get a wifi connection anywhere? (hotel, library, airport, coffee shop, etc.)
    Yes, I can. But it costs $30 for 10 MB (minimal use) at the hotel. Just to compare: a 3G data plan with 3GB traffic costs $50 monthly

  • Can I install Adobe Photoshop in my laptop and access it without any Internet connection?

    Can I install Adobe Photoshop in my laptop and access it without any Internet connection?

    Perpetual versions you can and it possible to to activate them offline.  Offline Activation
    The Creative Cloud versions can be installed offline but you need an Internet connection to activate the installed applications,  I also believe Adobe has recently made the Creative cloud desktop application an mandatory install.  It need not be running at all times however it will be installed.
